France are mental if they don't kick the 3.

Please do...

How can it be an offense against 3 if hes not on the pitch and Jones makes the interception. That was a frenchmann

France are insane. That was a penalty right? Why on earth wouldn't you kick it.

Knock on in goal is a 22?

Their LH is clearly in on an angle.

He's failed to unlock the defence in both games now.

Just before we conceded a penalty? He's getting the ball with no options. Dunbar looks fucked. No idea where Jones is.

Yes the crap out the back door pass to a man standing still about to get nailed.

If you have no options drop.back and kick to the corner.

Russell is legitimately killing our attack. Don't give it if it's not on!

Never a knock on though.

We are shocking. I can't help but feel we've taken 3 steps back after last week. We just give away possession so cheaply. How many opportunities do you want in the last 5 minutes?

Bad luck with all the injuries Scotland. Made it difficult to cope with that massive French pack. I thought the Frogs might have run out of steam late in the match but they stuck at it.

Plenty to work on over the next 2 weeks. Plenty of recuperation needed too.

Really need to manage games better though. We need to start winning these games.

Certainly frustrating and we blew some chances, but I think France were pretty impressive. I could see them beating anyone else playing that way.

Well that was disappointing, and I'm losing patience with Russell, but I thought the result last week owed more to luck than I would've liked and our luck more or less ran out this week.

Russell needs to realize he's there to manage the game plan, not there to make something magic happen every single time he touches the ball.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I watch a lot of Glasgow so have seen a lot of Russell but the more I think about it the more I'm starting to realise he hasn't actually turned up to an international. All those performances he puts in - they're at club level.

Paddy Jackson out played him last week. He manages phase after phase after phase. As you say, Russell tries to go for some hail mary the first time he gets the ball. He still has a lot to learn.
